Our Story

Built from a simple idea: make yourself at home

Lone Star Backyard Bar started with a question that felt too simple to ignore — why can't a local bar feel like a place you actually want to linger? Not a scene, not a crowd, just a well-crafted drink in a space that doesn't take itself too seriously.

We opened our doors on Old Bandera Road with a commitment to the fundamentals: honest ingredients, drinks made with care, and the kind of welcome that makes strangers feel like regulars. It's a backyard bar in the truest sense — relaxed, personal, and unapologetically Texas.

Whether you're settling in for a quiet evening or gathering a group of friends, we've built this place to feel like yours.

The Bar

Crafted drinks, served with intention

Our menu is built around the classics — executed well, with room for the occasional surprise. Every pour is a decision, not an afterthought.

Classic Cocktails

Old Fashioned, Martini, Negroni — the standards, done right. No shortcuts, no excuses.

Signature Sips

Seasonal creations that reflect the spirit of the Hill Country — bold, balanced, and worth trying.

Wine & Beer

A curated selection of Texas wines and local brews, chosen to complement the moment.

Café & Non-Alcoholic

Fresh coffee, house-made sodas, and thoughtful non-alcoholic options for everyone at the bar.

The Space

A place that feels like stepping outside — without leaving the city

The backyard bar concept is old for a reason. There's something about open air, dappled light, and the hum of conversation that makes a drink taste better and an evening feel longer.

Our space is designed for exactly that kind of evening. Whether you prefer the shade of the trees, the warmth of the string lights, or a corner that feels quietly yours, there's a spot waiting for you.
